In today's healthcare ecosystem, access to the right suppliers and timely delivery of essential products can make all the difference. Many buyers - from hospitals and clinics to pharmacies and medical distributors - often face challenges such as limited visibility into suppliers, delayed deliveries, lack of transparency in order tracking, and complex payment processes.
The Afya X App was built to solve these problems. It is an innovative digital marketplace that connects healthcare buyers directly with verified suppliers, while also streamlining payments, deliveries, and record-keeping. With Afya X, buyers not only save time and costs but also gain confidence knowing that they can access a trusted network of suppliers with full accountability.
At its core, Afya X is more than just an ordering platform - it is a procurement partner designed to enhance efficiency, improve decision-making, and promote transparency in healthcare supply chains.
Below are the key features that make the Afya X app a game-changer for buyers:
1. Browse Multiple Suppliers and Products
Afya X gives buyers access to a wide pool of verified suppliers. Instead of relying on a limited list of vendors, buyers can explore multiple suppliers and compare their product offerings in one place. This ensures fair competition, better pricing, and broader product choice.
2. Location-Based Supplier Selection
Time-sensitive healthcare deliveries demand proximity. The app allows buyers to filter and select suppliers based on location, reducing delivery delays and lowering logistical costs.
3. Product Search and Discovery
The built-in search function makes it simple to find exactly what you need. Whether it's medical equipment, pharmaceuticals, or consumables, buyers can quickly navigate the product catalog using keywords and filters.
4. Multi-Supplier Orders
Afya X simplifies procurement by allowing buyers to place a single order that includes products from different suppliers. This eliminates the need for multiple transactions and reduces administrative work.
5. Order and Delivery Tracking
Buyers no longer have to wonder about the status of their purchases. The app provides real-time updates from order confirmation through shipping and final delivery, promoting accountability and trust.
6. Multi-User Accounts
Procurement is often a team effort. Afya X allows buyers to add multiple users under one account, enabling hospitals, organizations, or pharmacies to collaborate seamlessly within the platform.
7. Wallet Funding and Payments
With an integrated PSP-backed digital wallet, buyers can fund their accounts securely and pay for orders with ease. This eliminates the hassle of manual transactions while ensuring safe, traceable payments.
8. Order and Purchase History
Every order is stored in the buyer's history. This feature makes it easy to track expenses, review suppliers, and maintain proper records for compliance and accountability.
9. Account Management
Buyers have full control over their profiles. From updating contact details to adjusting preferences, managing your account is quick and user-friendly.
10. Access to Credit with LOOP
One of the most transformative features is the ability to access credit. After consistently purchasing for six months, buyers become eligible for financing through Loop, giving them the flexibility to scale their procurement without immediate capital strain.
In short, Afya X empowers buyers with choice, transparency, efficiency, and financial flexibility - the four pillars of a reliable and future-ready procurement system for healthcare.
